She was born in East Stroudsburg on Aug. 17, 1929. She was the daughter of the late Nelson and Lottie (Hilgert) Whitmore.

Laura was a lifelong resident of Monroe County. She attended school in the East Stroudsburg School District. She worked as a baker and a cook for many years. Laura enjoyed baking her wedding cakes.

One of the family's fondest memories is reflecting back on the times when she was baking cakes and her love for her Atlantic City trips with her friends.

Laura was a member of Analomink United Methodist Church. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Preceding her in death, in addition to her parents, was her loving husband, Harold E. Oney; a daughter, Linda M. Oney, who passed away in 1955; and three brothers, Roy, Franklin and Nelson Whitmore.

Surviving is a son, Michael L. Oney, of East Stroudsburg; two grandchildren, Michelle L. Oney of East Stroudsburg and Zahra Jean Yohe of Greentown; three foster children, Laura Bogert, Stephanie Cammerota and Adelaine Gilliland; and several nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held at the convenience of the family.

In memory of Laura L. Oney, donations may be made to Analomink United Methodist Church, Cherry Lane Road and Route 191, Analomink, PA 18320.
